Counterfeit Drugs Update

Two articles worth noting. The first is a December recap of how laws are changing in the 50 states over the last couple of years (thanks to Juvan's Health Law Update). The second is a general article this past weekend on the subject of fake drugs geared more for members of the general public that may not have been exposed to the issue in the past (thanks to Adam Fein's Drug Channels):

• Red State, Blue State -- and Green, Yellow and Orange, Too (Pharmaceutical Commerce, Dec. 2006)
  
• Is Your Medicine Dangerous to Your Health? (Parade Magazine, 2/18/07)

I last discussed counterfeit drug legislation in New York and on the federal level at these links:

• Does Congress Understand the Counterfeit Drug Problem? (1/18/07)
• New York Counterfeit Drug Bill Affected by Election? (11/27/06)

The New York Personal Injury Law Blog does not accept advertising banners, pop up ads or other distractions from its content. But since The Turkewitz Law Firm is the sole sponsor, it may be considered a form of attorney advertising in accordance with New York rules going into effect February 1, 2007 (22 NYCRR 1200.1, et. seq.)

Throughout the blog as it develops, you may see examples of cases we have handled, or cases from others, that are used for illustrative purposes. Since all cases are different, and legal authority may change from year to year, it is important to remember that prior results in any particular case do not guarantee or predict similar outcomes with respect to any future matter, including yours, in which any lawyer or law firm may be retained.

Some of the commentary may be become outdated. Some might be a minority opinion, or simply wrong. No reader should consider this site (or any other) to be authoritative, and if a legal issue is presented, the reader should contact an attorney of his or her own choosing for advice.

Finally, we are not responsible for the comments of others that may be added to this site.
